Cheers to National Drink Wine Day!

In honor of National Drink Wine Day we thought we would take the time to talk about all of the wonderful characteristics and benefits of drinking wine.

When consumed in moderation, red wine has been proven to have several positive attributes relating to health, including reducing the risk of heart attacks and heart disease. According to FoodandWine.com, “red-wine tannins contain procyanidins, which protect against heart disease. Wines from Sardinia and southwest France have more procyanidins than other wines.”

It can also help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, strokes, cataracts, and colon cancer. All great things! While wine used to be only available to affluent members of society, like royalty and the upper class, we are happy to say that wine is not only available, but thoroughly enjoyed by a much wider population these days.
